Short answer

How can I turn text into speech with my AI?

Your AI uses the Deepgram Connector to send text to the Aura engine, which produces an audio file. You'll get high-quality voice files ready for use. Here is how it works.

The outcomes

What you get

The AI handles the heavy lifting of voice synthesis.

AUDIO

Natural voice files

The AI generates audio using the Aura engine. You get clear, human-like speech from your text.

FILES

Ready to use assets

The converted speech is delivered as a file. You can use these for voiceovers or presentations.

HUMAN

Manual script edits

The AI converts exactly what you provide. You must review and edit your text before asking for audio.

LOGS

Conversion history

Your agent keeps track of the text sent for conversion. You can reference previous scripts in your chat.

The workflow

What your AI does when text arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your written words and the audio engine.

  1. Read the script

    Your agent pulls the text from your prompt or a provided document.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change the tone of the voice?

    No. The AI uses the engine settings provided in the tool; you must specify tone requirements in your prompt.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete my original text files?

    No. The AI only reads the text to perform the conversion; it does not have permission to delete your files.

  • 03

    Can I choose different voices?

    Yes, you can request different voice profiles within your prompt during the conversion process.

  • 04

    Does the AI write the script for me?

    The AI can write a script if you ask it to, but the speech tool specifically converts the text you provide.

  • 05

    Can the AI edit the audio file after it is made?

    No. The tool generates the file from text. To change the audio, you must edit the text and run the conversion again.
